I had already ordered new pickups, pots, switch, input jack, etc for it, but I'm not sure if I'm going to bother installing any of that stuff. I'm truely impressed with the way it sounds and plays. The neck pickup has that sweet classic Tele "twang" and is totally rich with tone, and the bridge pickup distorts very nicely. I was also surprised at the lack of noise from the pickups.
Fit, finish, etc are all great. Played awesome out of the box, all I had to do was get it in tune and adjust the intonation on two strings.
IMO this definitely ranks up there with some of the high-dollar guitars I've played. Definitely blows away my Gibson SG.
